J & L Cafe

Just passing through and found this place. I try to eat local when traveling. We stuck out in this local place, but everyone was polite. Food was delicious. We arrived an hour before close...still a full house. A little slow for service but he was a young guy doing his best. He was super polite and accommodating for my younger daughters picky order. We got a steak dinner, steak and eggs and the fish dinner. Really good portion sizes and tasted great. Only complaint about the food is the coleslaw was excessively sauced. Could barely eat it.

Passing through and read some good reviews. Walked in and literally everyone turned around and gave me that “you’re not from around here are you” look. No greeter, one server. I stood around for a second not knowing what to do (there’s no ‘wait to be seated’ sign) I took a seat at a corner table trying to blend in. A couple came in right after me and the server immediately greeted and sat them, then came over to me and literally tossed some silverware and a menu down on the table, turned around and walked away. I immediately started looking up alternatives but stopped myself. I’d take the high road and give this shop a chance. The coffee was okay. I ordered the 2egg breakfast with pancakes. I was pleased that the eggs were real and warm. You’d be surprised at how many diners use fake eggs. The hash browns were tasty as well. The pancakes were chewy. The food came out pretty fast considering there’s only one cook back there. To conclude: 2 stars for the service, extra star for a decent breakfast. If you’re a “good ‘ol boy” and don’t mind the service, stop in. If you’re from a Midwest state looking for a cozy, friendly cafe for a quick breakfast: PASS.

We were passing through Sterling Colorado so I checked internet for some place to eat. Glad I did! This place is AWESOME! The people were friendly, the food was VERY GOOD and the bathrooms were clean. Portions were generous and the prices were reasonable. We are coffee drinkers, our cup was NEVER empty! I wish could give them 10 stars!

What an experience!! Delicious chicken and waffles oversized portions are sure to please anyone. The staff is respectful attentive and the dining room was clean. The flavors were just right in the biscuits and gravy. A must try!
